I found out this year that a friend of mine was the driver of a gun truck in Viet Nam called "Lil sure shot". Does any one know were I can get the book "The hard ride"? I think that is the name of it. I would like to get it for him.
Thanks for any help.
One of the few, Frank

I like the yellow headlights. Wonder if those can still be had?

Forgot to log on... Here's something else interesting. A military report on convoy protection - essentially a history of gun trucks. It is 97 pages long so it make take a bit for the dial-ups.
